How to Make Low Fat White Sauce
- In a heavy medium saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth to remove any lumps.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk until completely smooth and lump-free.
- Add the remaining 2 cups of milk and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Whisk until combined.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for about 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle simmer.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of egg substitute (or 1 large egg) with 2 tablespoons of the hot white sauce until light and frothy.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Gently whisk the egg mixture into the remaining white sauce.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- For best results, let the sauce rest for at least 10 minutes after cooking before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Can be made ahead, covered, and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before using.
